1 INTRODUCTION

ECDIS is an integrated software controlled navigation system with advanced

electronic chart capabilities including:

route planing

route monitoring

ground monitoring

It enables a navigator to conveniently do all navigational routines which are cur-

rently done on paper charts.

The ECDIS takes information from various shipboard sensors, such as ARPA ra-

dar, AIS information, positioning devices and echo sounders, and integrates the

information into easily interpreted visual displays.

The ECDIS supports charts from government agencies (S57, DNC and ARCS)and private chart manufacturers, like CMAP.

Please consult your dealer for the availability of charts in your area.

NOTE

All charts are displayed in a Northup orientation.

Datum is always WGS 1984 (World Geodetic System).

ECDIS chart capabilities are.

Operator Manual

1.1 Types Of Charts

ECDIS displays the type and scale of the displayed chart in the information

panel. As you change the scale of the display, or center the display on other

areas, the type of the chart being displayed may change, indicating that

ECDIS is displaying a more appropriate chart. If the display is centered over a

region not covered by any of the installed charts, no chart is displayed. For ex-

ample, if you zoom in on an area, ECDIS displays the chart that features the

most detailed coverage of that region; if you zoom out, it displays the chart that

features broadest coverage. It also makes similar adjustments when you move

the display to the left or right, and up or down.

While a chart is displayed, you may see red lines drawn on the display.

These lines designate the different fragments of the paper charts.

You may view the source of the chart; the chart name, manufacturer, date and

much more by clicking the right mouse button.

1.1.1 Charting Capabilities for S57 (CM93/3) Chart Types

Legal Equivalence With Paper Charts

In order an ECDIS to be the legal equivalent of paper charts, the following condi-

tions must be true:

The system must display official ENC (Electronic Nautical Chart), issued bya national Hydrographic Office.

The ENC must be up to date.

area, called the ENC database ; this shall only include ENC issued by Hydro-

graphic Offices.

Since the S57 (93/3) format is not suitable for data processing, the ECDIS shall

convert the ENC into a different format (usually binary and more compact than

S57(93/3)), called the SENC (System ENC) format. A special module of the EC-

DIS software, the SENC Compiler, performs the conversion from ENC to SENC

(see section 4.8 Installation (import)).

The resulting data is loaded into a separate storage area, the SENC Database,

from where it is accessed by the chart display and navigational functions of

ECDIS.The ECDIS manufacturer may choose whatever format and database structure

for the SENC, provided that data is not downgraded in accuracy and/or contents

during the conversion from ENC to SENC.

1.1.2 Charting Capabilities for ENC

The provision of a timely, reliable worldwide uniform ENC data distribution ser-

vice is a major organizational challenge. The IHO developed the WEND (World

wide Electronic Navigational Chart Database) concept to meet these require-

ments. WEND consists of two components:

A charter describes the principles governing the cooperation between Hydro-

graphic Offices e.g.:

By definition,the organization responsible for charting of an area is also

responsible for the ENC production.

O t M l

Operator Manual

RENCs do not deliver ENCs directly to ships. RENC customers are

commercial chart data distributors who in analogy to paper chart

distribution tailor individual sets of chart data for the special needs of a

shipping company or a particular ship.

To date, two RENCs Primar Stavanger, based in Norway and ICENC, based

in the United Kingdom, are in operation. However, it has to be noted, that the

WEND concept has not been fully adopted through all ENC producing nations

yet. A number of nations are still distributing their ENCs individually (e.g. Japan

Hydrographic Office, Australian Hydrographic Office, USA NOAA) either

through chart data suppliers or directly.

Principally, WEND focuses on the supply and distribution of ENCs by facilitating

the

establishment of services intended to satisfy the SOLAS carriage requirement

for uptodate charts. Within this primary purpose, ENCs are to be distributed in

the encapsulation described in the S57 Standard. However, such plain S57 en-capsulated ENCs may become easily subject to unauthorized amendment or ille-

gal copying.

IHO has therefore issued the special publication S63 IHO Data Protection

Scheme as Standard for protection of ENCs by encryption.

Encryption is a complex technical procedure:S

63 defines security constructs

and operating procedures for the RENCs/chart data distributors and provides

specifications that allow navigation equipment manufacturers to build S63 com-

pliant ECDIS. S63 is already in use for ENC distribution and is supported by the

A periodical updateservice of the ARCS seacharts is ensured by the

manufacturer.

A seachart in rasterdataformat is divided into pixels and then stored.

On the screen of the ECDIS these pixels will be displayed.

In this way the complete (paper) chart equivalent is displayed on the screen.

As additional information only the geographically coordinates are displayed

(after selection by courser) on the Information Panel.

Other, for seacharts typically information, as there are buoys, light beacons,

wrecks or depth information can only be read out of the displayed seachart.

The Zoomfunction is reduced to 2 steps.

There is no object query possible on Raster charts.

1.1.4 Charting Capabilities for DNC Chart Types

The Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) is produced by the National GeospatialIntelli-

gence Agency. This chart type is an unclassified, vectorbased digital database

containing maritime significant features essential for safe marine navigation.

2.9.1.2 Track Plotter

The ECDIS positions the ship on the electronic chart using information from the

GPS or other positioning sensors. The ship symbol is directional and is oriented

according to your gyro heading. An optional heading vector (an arrow) and

search light (the cone shape) are displayed projecting from the bow of the shipsymbol.

The information panel constantly displays updated information on your position,

speed, and bearing.

NOTE

The antigrounding search light will detect and signal a warning if the ship

is about to cross a safety contour area. The length of the heading vector

determines the length of the search light, hence the ships warning time.

(A general ship alarm will sound if the warning is not acknowledged within

30 seconds).
